This has been going on for years in the lower classes. That is how we ended up with the Fuel Injected classes for a while. It costs a lot of money to build a late model Stocker too.

Who cares? Anybody who has to race one heads up, I would think.

True, but we have yet to see one of these cars in a heads-up run. They are already showing a little, so I really don't think that it will be long before they get some HP.

From the performance potential that has been demonstrated so far by these cars, it seems to me that unless NHRA wants to institute a new Stock class (AAA/S?) at 7, or even 6.5 pounds per factored horsepower, these cars rightfully belong in Super Stock, because they're obviously capable operating way outside the present-day, accepted, parameters of AA/S and AA/SA.

Why would a car manufacturer want to build a new AA Stocker that couldn't out run a car built in 1969? It would make zero sense. If these cars can run what everyone predicts they will get HP. We may even get a new class, but we haven't seen anything to warrant that yet.
And yes. I do have a dog in this hunt.
